DGHT1844K
Frigidaire DGHT1844K Top Freezer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Freezer and fresh food temperatures
- Evaporator fan and defrost heater
- Both door gaskets and hinge fit
- Condenser coils and compressor run time
The DGHT1844K is a Frigidaire Gallery top freezer refrigerator of 18.28 cu. ft. with a stainless steel finish. Variant endings KF and KR exist for this number. It has been discontinued, so this is an older model, but a lot of them are still in service.
Top freezer refrigerators are the simplest layout to service, which is part of why people hold on to them. In a model of this type, the freezer evaporator fan pushes cold air down to the fresh food section through a damper, so a warm refrigerator with a cold freezer sends us there first. If the freezer is also warm, we look at the condenser coils, the compressor and the start parts. Frost on the freezer back wall points to the defrost heater and sensor.
A quick look at the label gives us the exact build. You see a written price before we begin, and the repair comes with a 30-day guarantee on the labor.

Error codes this model can show
The freezer on my DGHT1844K is cold but the refrigerator is warm. Why?
Cold air travels from the freezer to the fresh food section through a damper and fan. We test the evaporator fan and the damper, and look for frost blocking the path.
Why does my top freezer refrigerator hum and click every few minutes?
Often the compressor start parts or a condenser fan struggle to keep up. We check the coils for dust and test the start relay before replacing anything.
Is a top freezer this age worth repairing?
Usually yes for fans, heaters, gaskets and sensors. If the sealed system has failed, we tell you plainly and let you decide with the written price in hand.
